Bunny Wedding Cake from 2007
Ok. Maybe if I write it down, then I have to do it....
This was my wedding cake entry last year in the 2007 Austin Cake Show. I placed 3rd in the adult intermediate division.
I have actually started my Wedding Cake entry for this year -- started. I just have not had the motivation to finish it. So there I said it, now maybe I can go do it.

The Smash Cake for Jeremiah
So here are all those stars!
I did get to use my favorite tip as well -- the grass tip!
I HATE the Star Tip
I really do! I hate it! I remember why those first cakes back in Wilton 1 were so discouraging.
I was making a car smash cake for my nephew. I was planning on covering it in fondant, something really cute. My hubby reminded me that the point of a smash cake was to S-M-A-S-H it. I had to go with buttercream. After about the 100th star, I thought about just covering in smooth buttercream. I wanted to do the stars though. Each perfect, same size, stop squeezing before you lift... At 250, squueze, left, move on!!
For those of you that can get every little space covered in a perfect star, amazing. you must have hands of iron and some serious pateince.
Hopefully Jeremiah will tear into all these loopy lopsided stars and give me some great pictures!
